The cottage is very well positioned for the town, carpark and beaches. Lovely cottage perfect for a stay in St Ives but it needs a few tweeks, Out of season you can park in the Island carpark but after that it can be more difficult to park and then the nearest carpark is Barnoon.

This is a great cottage in a very convenient spot in St Ives. It is close to the town centre but is away from all the noise. it is close to porthgwidden beach as well as the harbour beach. It is very convenient for the island car park (be sure to book your stay on line in advance). It has the right amount of kitchen appliances. The top bedroom has Read morelow headspace but our kids have loved it. Very good for position, position, position. Hide

The cottage needs has potential to be very nice but is a bit tired. Whilst it was very clean, it would benefit from some tlc. However, the location superb and we had a great time.

Nice cottage but a bit tired . Great location though. Bathroom needs updating. Rust around Bath plug hole, dirty mark on front of toilet and rusty radiator. Our bed had the central support missing which meant it creaked loudly and sagged in the middle. Neither bedroom door had a latch so wouldnt close properly. Some windows wouldnt open which was aRead more nuisance when cooking. Hide

Perfect location, close to three main beaches. Away from the business of Fore Street but close enough for easy access. Towels provided saved us a fair bit of luggage space and it was fully equipped. Clean and tidy on arrival, good information booklet with all the relevant info. Probably one of the nicest cottages weve stayed in in our 15 years viRead moresiting St Ives. Hide
